Paperback. Zustand: New. Illustrated. The catalogue for the exhibition at the Cleve Carney Museum in Chicago (2025) presents an exceptional collection of Japanese artworks, offering the public an in-depth understanding of Japanese painting production from the Edo period (1603-1868), particularly of ukiyo-e, the "images of the Floating World." The volume includes a selection of hanging vertical scroll paintings (kakemono) and hand-painted horizontal scrolls by the great masters of the various schools, starting from the mid-17th century. Also featured are colour woodblock prints with black outlines and hand painted details - a technique that evolved into nishiki-e, the famous multicoloured "brocade pictures" - as well as printed and painted fans, and high-quality handcrafted objects that testify to Japan's rich artistic and artisanal tradition, such as board games and musical instruments. These works reflect the evolution of taste, fashion, and entertainment culture that developed during the long Tokugawa peace corresponding to the Edo period. The extraordinary works come from the prestigious collections of the E. Chiossone Museum of Oriental Art in Genoa.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Illustrated. The catalogue of the most comprehensive exhibition ever held in Italy, at Palazzo Bonaparte in Rome, dedicated to Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), a supreme master of Japanese art and a key figure in global visual culture. The exhibition is part of the official programme of celebrations marking the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan, sealing a deep and enduring cultural dialogue between two artistic traditions that continue to influence and enrich one another. Through a broad and multifaceted journey, the catalogue - curated by Beata Romanowicz - guides the reader in discovering not only the celebrated Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji, including the iconic The Great Wave off Kanagawa, but also an extraordinary selection of woodblock prints, illustrated books, and rare objects from the prestigious collection of the National Museum in Kraków, one of Europe's most important collections, which includes remarkable examples of Japanese art, particularly from the Edo period (1603-1863). The reader is led into the refined universe of Ukiyo-e, the "Floating World," where nature, the movement of water, landscapes, female figures, and the life of the Japanese people become protagonists of a poetic and surprisingly modern vision. The volume explores the work of an artist who profoundly influenced the Western imagination, inspiring Monet, Van Gogh, and the entire Impressionist movement.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Through more than one hundred works, the official catalogue of the first major exhibition of M.C. Escher in Paris retraces the entire artistic journey of the Dutch engraver (1898-1972), from his early training and travels in Italy to the complex technical experiments that made him an artist admired even in scientific circles. The volume reconstructs the visual and conceptual universe of M.C. Escher: a space where nature, art, science, and mathematics intertwine in a fascinating and vertiginous balance. His works-true architectures of imagination-continue to influence our contemporary way of seeing and have entered the collective imagination through school textbooks, magazines, design, and popular culture. Trained as a graphic artist, he produced around 450 prints, each characterised by a distinctive style and extraordinary precision. His creations appeal not only to art lovers, but also to those passionate about geometry, mathematics, visual sciences, architecture, and graphic design. This catalogue is much more than a simple exhibition companion: it is a comprehensive guide to the universe of M.C. Escher, where imagination meets geometry and reality bends to the laws of infinity.…
